Chapter 9: Modeling

                                    

                                          
Don't worry, it's for real. ;)

Yuuri's POV
                          
"It'll be fine... it'll be fine... it's going to be okay..." I kept mumbling to comfort myself. 
                          
I closed my eyes as Phichit's soft makeup tools brushed against my skin. 
                          
"We'll go for a natural look, also please take off your glasses, it would make my job a bit easier !" Phichit laughed.
                          
"I have an idea !" Phichit exclaimed.
                          
"What is it ?"
                          
"I have contacts in my bag... they might fit you ? Do you want to try them ? How is your eye sight ?"
                          
"It's minus two point five."
                          
Phichit rummaged in his bag for a while then let out a gasp.
                          
"Ta da~"
                          
I took the box from him and examined it. The lenses weren't colored so my eyes would like the same. Only, I wouldn't need glasses. 
                          
I had tried contact once but it was a bit expensive to buy them and the products to keep them sanitary fine. I didn't have much money, since I just arrived in the city and only started working very recently. 
                          
I washed my hands and unwrapped the lenses package. With one hand, I kept my left eye open wide and tried to put the contact on with my other hand. It took me a few tries but eventually I got it. Then I did the other eye and I was done !
                          
Phichit appeared before me to take care of my hair. He slicked it backwards with the least possible amount of gel so it would hold in place without looking greasy. After that, I got changed in an outfit that had been picked out for me. 
                          
There was a silky black v-neck and tight-fitting red pants. I hurried on the set. 
                          
I took place next to Viktor. The light was blinding me at first then I got used to it.
                          
Viktor turned to me 
                          
"Don't worry, Yuuri-chan. I'm sure you can do well ! Let's work together." 
                          
Viktor bowed his head at me slightly.
                          
My hands were shaking of nervousness. I tried my best to keep myself from blushing madly. 
                          
The director spoke up.
                          
"Katsuki-san, I really want to thank you for helping us today. You're saving us many hours of overtime and a lot of trouble ! I'll explain the concept of the shooting real quick. You and Viktor are portraying two young dancers after a practice. You'll need too look the part, so you have to watch your body lines. Viktor will guide since you told me earlier you weren't much experienced in the field. Remember, you represent Betements !" The director concluded his speech with a nod.
                          
Viktor didn't waste any time to start posing. 
                          
"Viktor, Yuuri, get closer ! Work that chemistry !"
                          
Viktor took a few step closer to me and leaned his arm on my shoulder since he was taller than me. I laughed it off at first.
                          
"Wow ! That's nice ! Keep it up !"
                          
I looked at Viktor and he gave me a cheeky smile, his mouth almost shaped like a heart. I raised my head up and tried to look confident even if I didn't feel the part completely. The clothes and makeup helped me though. 
                          
"Now ! Some more artsy shot !"
                          
I decided to let my ballet training take over me. I took lessons for years in my hometown when I was younger. The classes were taught by Minako, a talented ballerina. I wondered how she was doing today... I felt my heart sink at all the people I had left behind at home. 
It was no time to think about that ! 
I tried to lift the corners of my mouth upwards to attempt a smile. 
                          
Viktor gracefully strikes a pose, holding a bag an assistant had just given him. It was a sports bag. I attempted to play along with Viktor's style. It looked good so far. Or so I thought.
                          
Viktor helped me thorough the shoot, giving me tips quietly as we posed. He directed me sometimes because some poses felt awkward. He said it was normal for me to feel this way. Sometimes, he would crack jokes to make me feel at ease. He even managed to make me forgot about the camera at some point. It was like we were alone and fooling around, just the two of us having fun. Without him, I'm not sure how I would have gotten through it.
                          
A little while later, we took a break for lunch. Since I had modeled, I got to eat with the director, Viktor, Sara and other important people. I had a nice bento laid out in front of me and my stomach growled. My cheeks were tinted pink.
                          
Sara laughed at me.
                          
"You're so kawai~" she singsonged. 
                          
"Crispino-sama, you know some Japanese ?"
                          
"Hai~ and please, call me Sara-chan !"
                          
First name basis already !?!
                          
Viktor put his food tray down next to me. 
                          
"Yuuri-kun ! You did so well ! Was this your first time modeling ? It surely didn't look like it."
                          
"Yes it was my first time."
                          
"Viktor is right ! You surely looked great," Sara added.
                          
We chatted for a while, but soon, it was time to get back to work. Before that though, Viktor called out to me.
                          
"Yuuri-kun ! Don't forget our DATE tonight ! I'll pick you up~"
                          
Upset glares burned me from everywhere.. I scratched my neck nervously.
                          
I took a last bite of food and got up.
                          
I wonder what I would eat with Viktor tonight.
